What to do if you have an achilies tendon that does not want to cooperate when you run...

Here is a question I got no too long ago.

"Hi!

I am fairly new to rowing on the C-2. My question is: do you think it is ok for a runner with left achilles tendinitis (mild) to continue rowing while rehabbing? I do about 20 to 30 minutes rowing 5 days a week.

Thanks!"


Caution: Do not over compress at the catch, which would stretch the tendon too far... Use a bungee cord and strap it around the track. This way you will not roll too far into the catch thus avoiding any over stretching of the tendon.
